Windows Media Player 7 and earlier stores Internet shortcuts in a user's Temporary Files folder with a fixed filename instead of in the Internet Explorer cache, which causes the HTML in those shortcuts to run in the Local Computer Zone instead of the Internet Zone, which allows remote attackers to read certain files.
Buffer overflows in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) a long version tag in an .ASX file, or (2) a long banner tag, a variant of the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability as discussed in MS:MS00-090.
